The Office of Personnel Management is in talks with six additional health care providers to join the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, according to John O'Brien, OPM's director of health care and insurance. OPM has been working over the past few years to add plans to the FEHB program in a bid to increase competition, O'Brien said in a keynote address at the 2013 FEHB Carrier Conference in Arlington, Va.

Sounds like OPM is proud of itself form the headline. What we would really like to see as a headline is premiums reduced!!! Especially in light of furloughs, pay freezes and attacks. At a minimum, every Fed should be able to pay the same reduced premiums as postal workers.
They should be embarrassed.
